Can I drive in San Carlos with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car.

Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
